Quite a few of the people deep into the AVOW bowels are of the energy healing persuasion. She might very well be going that route. That prominent author Chad worked with and who spoke up for him recently is one such energy healer, and is quite prolific. She is by far not the only one. The new bride of AC is also an energy healer. Just throwing that nugget out there in regards to these two points.

should be "the new bride, now widow, of AC" or similar. Just in case those coming behind, forget he died scant days after his marriage. ;)
 
Am I the only one who thinks that LV is the “mastermind” or controlling figure in all of this? I just look at her past and say. Wow. MOO.

They both seem like manipulative sociopaths who are feeding off each other to me. He's the wishy washy passive-aggressive one and she's the A type. She may think she's in control but then Chad has a dream and off they go.

I really think Chad is in danger, his demise would solve so many of Lori's problems. I think she liked the idea of being a famous authors wife and traveling with him as he he gave talks at conferences. But no matter the outcome of all this, I think that's pretty much over. I think she's going to get bored real quick. I liked Chad, nice quiet guy, but I don't think anyone ever described him as exciting. MOO.

Given the number of dead people in her orbit, I agree. Although I really hope that once the shine wears off, they both have to sleep with one eye open.

I’m with you- given there are themes of subservient wives in mormonism and the abhorrent behavior some us of witnessed during the reporters live shot with a certain daughter- I get the impression Tammy was treated like garbage (whether she realized or not-guessing not because of my personal experiences with mormon women). Chad Daybell strikes me a feeble troll emboldened by his religious beliefs. A whole lotta misogyny parroted by his offspring.

I'm of the same opinion. I'm not saying he isn't a criminal but he on the outside seemed relatively stable for 30 years to me (from what I've read). Even with his fringe ideas, he seemed to hold it together. JMO
 
Don't think I can quote from the last thread, but in answer to the comment about getting drugs without an Rx ...

I don't remember the specific drug JJ was on or have a feel for how "controlled" a substance it is. Certainly *if* Lori wanted it and had enough time to get it in anticipation of the need, it is possible. Some drugs that are available only with a prescription in the US can be bought in Mexico without. Others may require an Rx, but visiting a doctor there could take care of that. It's also generally a lot cheaper than the same thing would be in the US (assuming no insurance picking up all or part of the cost). In fact, there is a town called Los Algodones just across the border from Yuma, AZ, that does a thriving business in the medical, dental, and drug fields from Americans whose situation is such that they've found it is more affordable to take care of many of their needs across the border. Conceivably with a 3 1/2 hour drive each way Lori could have gone there. Or Nogales, Mexico was a touch closer and, while not as well known or with as many businesses setup to service those from North of the Border, would still be a possibility. MOO

Agree. I live in the area. Its pretty common for people to make a day trip across the border to buy meds because they are considerably cheaper than in the US. If you have your Rx from the US most pharmacies will honor it, if not they usually have a "doctor" in the pharmacy that will give you a Rx for whatever you're looking for. Sometimes you dont have to go into a pharmacy. Once when the new star wars came out as soon as I got into town there was a guy with a trench coat that would not so discreetly whisper "VIAGRA...STAR WARS" as you passed him. If you turned to see what the hell that meant he showed you that one side of the coat held bottles of viagra while the others bootleg start wars dvd's.

Tylee is a typical teenage girl who graduated early from HS and has a close group of friends. KW & LW spoke with JJ several times a week and often those conversations were short, but it wasn’t unusual for JJ to call his grandparents back several times in the same day. Lori never prevented the Woodcocks from talking to or visiting with JJ. During their last 35 sec Facetime with JJ in Aug it appeared someone was monitoring what he said and he didn’t call back after that. They also noticed that JJ’s hair didn’t appear to be as groomed as it had been previously. Lori used to be a cosmetologist and took exceptional care of JJ’s hair. The picture of JJ on the missing poster shows his hair matted and not in it's usual style. KW & LW have launched a Find JJ and Tylee website asking for tips from the public.

Some Quotes from the Jan 7th Presser:
“These are beautiful young children. They’re two extremely intelligent young children and we want them back. We want them back in our family,” -LW

“If there is anything that Lori can come forth with and help us, please do it. She knows how much we love these kids, and we want only the best for them. That’s it. It’s that simple. Please give them back to us.” -LW


“All I want before I go is just to see those children, I just want to hear him beat on the drums, I want to hear him say, ‘Papa, let’s go ride’ or ‘Let’s go to Checkers and let’s go get a hamburger.’ I’m hoping beyond hope that that happens in the near future.” -LW

“Sometimes [JJ] may call and say, ‘Papa!’ and then, he’d just go away. ‘Gotta go, bye!’” -LW

“J.J. is my heart, I’m hoping this will allow one person to simply say ‘I saw (him). I know where he’s at,’ and give us that information, so that we can bring J.J. and Tylee back." -LW


“We want and believe that they are alive, and that’s the reason for the reward,""It’s the reason, we don’t say, the ‘d’ word. We’re not going to because we hope and pray these kids are alive." -LW

“If somebody two years ago would have said ‘This is what’s going to happen with Lori,’ I would have never believed it, Kay would have never believed it. If Kay and I would have had any thought in the future that we were going to be involved in an issue like this, we never would have let J.J. up for adoption. It never would have happened, and now this happened. Lori was a good mother when J.J. was young. You couldn’t ask for a better mother.” -LW


“Lori, you know how much we love J.J. You know my heart beats for him. Kay loves him. All our family loves JJ. Pick up the phone. Call me. Call Kay. If you don’t want to talk to authorities, talk to us." – LW

“If this reward can prompt that, then that’s what I want. They’re good kids. They don’t deserve this. And we as a family don’t deserve it.” -LW


“Please, just let us know where the kids are. It’s not difficult. It would end all of this.” -KW

“We don’t know why we weren’t allowed more access to him, but we reached out constantly in every way – email, voicemail, text, phone call, whatever – and never, ever got a response so that was very concerning to us,” -KW


“It sends chills up our spines,” "That’s just (what) brought it home for us. ‘Oh, my God, this is something really bad.'" -KW, when asked about Lori’s false claims that Tylee died in 2017.

“Charles suspected they were having an affair. He told me about it. He told me what he had that made him think that. He was spot on. There were just some things that we discussed, and he showed me (the evidence).” – KW, when asked about Lori and Chad’s relationship.

8 Jan 2020 - The former attorneys of the late Charles Vallow say that CV filed an order of protection against Lori in Feb 2019 and told his attorneys, “Steve, I want to make sure that everyone knows that if something happens to me, Lori & Alex did it.” The lawyers say they could not find Lori in Feb 2019 in order to serve her with the order of protection papers and they even tried looking for her in Idaho because she had a talk or something with PAP. 5 months later, in July 2019, Lori’s brother Alex claimed he shot Charles to death in self-defense. CV not only predicted his own death would be at the hands of Lori and Alex but he also had fears about Lori taking the children out of state. Lori had called JJ's school one day to find out if he was present. CV was afraid she would come get him so he went and got JJ out of school first (Fox 10 Phoenix).

8 Jan 2020 – A hotel employee says that she expected CV and JJ to return to the hotel for breakfast on July 11 but instead police came to the hotel and informed her CV was dead (Fox 10 Phoenix).

9 Jan 2020 – Principal of Kennedy Elementary in Rexburg gives a statement: “We truly hope for the safety of everybody involved and hope for a positive outcome,” said Josh Wilson. JW also says: there was no previous activity that would indicate a need for concern from the school; The school has not received a request to move JJ’s records to another school; if Lori is homeschooling JJ, she would not need to notify the school. The records would remain with Kennedy Elementary (Fox 13 Phoenix).

22 July 2020 – Lori told CV that she believes July 2020 is the date of the second coming of Christ; In Jan 2019 Lori allegedly threatened to murder CV if he stood in the way of her preparing for this date. “I think it’s July 22, 2020?,” KW said. “I don’t know what’s going to happen July 23, you know. Charles told me. He had recordings of her. He said nobody will believe me, and he recorded her one night.” (Fox10 Phoenix, Divorce records, Click2Houston).

I really think Chad is in danger, his demise would solve so many of Lori's problems. I think she liked the idea of being a famous authors wife and traveling with him as he he gave talks at conferences. But no matter the outcome of all this, I think that's pretty much over. I think she's going to get bored real quick. I liked Chad, nice quiet guy, but I don't think anyone ever described him as exciting. MOO.

Opposites attract?

He just doesn't seem like her "type."
 
I think Lori thought there would be more money involved for sure MOO

While everyone pictures authors making big bucks the reality is that very few make a living as authors. It's kind of like musicians, some make a fortune, most make beer money, if that, and depend on another job to make a living. Chad as publisher might have made a bit more, but it appears Tammy was the brains behind that and with Chad on the lam any money that might be coming in probably isn't or will slow down quickly.
